      It is fantastic that this is catching on. The more governments face down the social media giants and the „you can’t do that“ crowd, the easier it becomes for others to follow.

      Es justo y necesario, aunque sea el detonante para que se postulen como futuros votantes de vox.

      We have the example of Australia, where it doesn’t really work, but we continue nonetheless. Is it to protect children or to stop the anonymity of adults who use social media? I wonder.

      Article goes on to say that providers would be penalized for using their algorithms to promote disinformation and hate speech, which is broader than just kids.

      I was curious to see if it defined „social media „. That could be anything with a login that is interactive in nature(?).

      Age verification needs to be safe and realistic, not just push everyone toward surveillance-heavy solutions.

      I appreciate it and its good that they are doing this, but at the end of the day, its all on-paper. The real issue is platform accountability, not just kids’ access. Also, The parents should also be aware of this. Without involving the parents, kids will find a way to bypass it somehow.

      A good quote i heard someone say : „Age verification needs to be safe and realistic, not just push everyone toward surveillance-heavy solutions.“

      Why not ban smartphones under 16 at this point? Just give them the ones with button’s.

      Bots should also be forbidden, unless clearly signalled as such.

      Imagine banning social media in the U.S. mass chaos would ensue! 16 and under protests would be larger than the anti ICE ones. lol

      Good on Spain. The internet/US/RUS brain-rot should be held at an arms distance from our kids.

      I was very happy when my kid told me he was voting even more center/right than me… The center is where the solutions and power is, at least in the Northern European/Scandinavian sense.

      I like very much our latin friends are more and more aware of this.

      If you look at how many harms depend on violating GDPR you might see a more effective way to protect children online

      With what’s happening all over the world to children, I kind of want them to have access, maybe it’s the only way they can ask for our help?

      Finally, a country with a logical solution to a huge problem! Congratulations, Spain. You are way smarter than USA!

      While Germany remains arguing that you should rather teach them to use it.

      No idea why our government constantly tries to harm innovative ideas whenever they can but as always, after having spent years of studies and millions of €, they come to the conclusion it would actually make sense.

      So many „No shit sherlock“ moments the last 10 years…unbelievable

      If only the USA would do this. Reddit would be a much better place.

      The goal is to reduce exposure not to kill it totally, if it is hard to find your friends in social media, then it will less interesting to go on the platform.
